Forgive me if this is a silly question....

My surgery is on Tuesday (9/29) and just started my period today. This got me thinking every month right before I get cravings for salty and chocolate things... How do you handle this after surgery? Does this still happen? I suppose I can handle the salt craving but chocolate probably won't work for a while if ever!

For those of you craving Reese's peanut butter cups. Someone mentioned on a thread that they make protein drinks with chocolate protein powder and a spoon of peanut butter blended in. Then, someone said you can get peanut butter powder. Most of the fat has been removed. You can put some of that in with chocolate protein powder and have a splendid drink. I found it at my local supermarket. They even had several brands to try. It even has Iike 4 or 5 grams of protein. And they have one that is peanut butter and chocolate. You can also mix with water and make a sort of paste with it if you think whole drink sounds yucky. Figured it's worth a try.

Omg I went today to have Mirena put in. Couldn't do it. It hurt so bad. I was in tears. I almost passed out. He couldn't see anything even with the HUMONGOUS speculum.

He barely got the clamp on my cervix and I jumped. He measured my uterus and I almost died. Then he tied to put it in and couldn't see. He said he go it almost in but I jerked and said there was no way he could get it in and open without me screaming in pain. He said some people he has to put to sleep.

I said "not thank you." I'm going back on Seasonale. Lol.

My sister had to be put to sleep.

The only pain I recall was when she measured my uterus...omg... reminded me of contractions!

Yep. Mirena hurt but only briefly. If you can stand it, it is worth it.

I've been up since 4 am because my uterus is still angry with me. And my husband is snoring. "My uterus" wanted to strangle him lol.
